Is Introduced to Escaping Natural Gas
| by . Geoio. list.
The Wichita Mining and Investment Com
pany is still "sawig wood" and will soon
CO mmence work on q new we'll For some
W eeks, in fact months, the compapy has
been negotiating with q gentleman from
| Emporia who claims to be something of a
| geologist. As soon as well No. l proved a
| failure he came to the city, without making
hi msef known, and con menced taking field
notes. In two or three weeks he went
to the Office of the company and
| stated that he had located a gas well,
| and IL the Company would give him
$50 he would give them the benefit Of his
| search. He also promised to show them
point where gas was coming from the ground
| and II he could not they need not entertain
any idea Of sinking q well there If he
showed them the gas coming from the
ground the company should sink well and
IL certain pressure is found the 500 should
be paid. II gas in certain quantities il
fou' he also gets other consideration.
Yesterday morning near 8 o'clock
several csrrsge loads, composed of
members Of the company aud others,
left the city with the geologist to view the
reported find He took them near ten miles
east on Central avenue and showed them gas
bubbling up in spring near the bank Of the
creek. On reaching the surface the BUBBLES
would burn, showing it to be ccmbustible
gas. The members Of the company ard all
present were delighted at the prosps ct as the
gentleman showed them all that he had
promised. They returned near noon In the
best Of cheer.
1t seems probable as a result that the com
pany will sink a well at that point. A few
days ago the gentleman making the discov-
cry leased the land around the site and will
turn that over to the company.
While the indications are favorable it is |
not considered at all certain that gas in pay |
ing quantities cen be found, as it may Re |
eondu ted to that point by means Of q crew
ice coming from an anti-cline not directly |
under it but eff to one size, and the drill |
would not reach it. While often this is the |
case it is generally cones ded as a good indi- |
cation. or course nothing but the drill can |
Diet ermine the facts but the pointer seems to
be considered by the company happy phe-
nomenon.

pretty songs, funny sayings and comical

all; it is however, by far, the most ridicu-
lous in construction and has what the others
lack, the spirit and vivacity of the French.

IT is not alone in this country that
the controversy in regard to future
probation is to be carried on. 1t now
appears at the very seat of missions in
heather Annoy. According to the Brit
ISL Weekly there is considerable discus
sion among the missionaries at Annoy
on account of views expressed by a
young missionary of one of the Lon
don societies. This gentleman at a
recent service took up the doctrine Of
eternal punishment, saying, "that only
those who rejected Christ would be
punished, and that as he 1.-THE preacher)
could not think of punishment eternally,
neither could God" He said that three
classes who had never had an opportu-
nifty of accepting Christ most certainly
would be saved. These three were first:
the heather; second, street arabs !;
third, honest doubters, such as Huxley.
AS matter of course, these views
gave satisfaction to the general COM
munity. They were so pleased that
they ''sent deputation to thank the
missionary, who promised to preach at
an early opportunity on the same sub
ject." The same paper adds that pro-
tests have been sent to the society at
home from the American and Scottish
missionaries.

INDIANA CONVENTION.

FIRST DAY.-THURsDAY, AUGUST rs.
AT 2:20 P. NJ, on Thursday, August
%, the Indiana Universalist Conven-
ton was called to order by the Presi-
dent, Charles Styer, Of Indianapolis.
The sharp rap of the gavel was the sig
nal for attention; the buzz of con-
versation ceased in the church, and ST.
lence was promptly secured among the
visitors and delegates. 1.-THE Conven-
ton will open its proceedings" said
the President, "by uniting in prayer
with Rev. T. III. Tabor" An appro-
pirate and fervent petition to the
Throne of Grace followed.
During this opening session, the del
egates were constantly arriving. The
call to order was made with not more
than twenty-five present before the
session was closed, double that number
had arrived, the afternoon trains from
the South and West bringing the addi-
tions. Many of the old veterans Of
Indiana were present. In the congre-
cation we observed, at this first session,
Hon. j. M. Bulla, of Richmond; Dr.
Budd and Joseph Hummell, of Muncie;
Messrs. Powell and Helm, of Logans-
port Hammond, of Dublin; Smith
Druley, Robert Bridges, and several
other well known Indiana standbys."
The ministers of the State were repre-
sented by Messrs. Guthrie, Tabor, John,
Grandy, Saxton, Wilgus, Ballard.
A large number of young men and
women were also present in the seats
reserved for delegates, testifying by
their presence to the young blood now
being gradually infused into the coun-
ellis of the Convention, well represented
by Frank Best, of Fairfield; Merrill, of
Mount Carmel, and the young lady
representatives from Indianapolis and
Terre Haute. Rev. DR.. Demarest, of
the General Convention, was also pres
ent, beginning at this Convention his
second round of visitation.
The roll call of the Secretary, Miss
Hattie B. Johnson, of Indianapolis,
followed, and quorum was declared
present. Committee en- Credentials,
IT. b. Custer, Robert Bridges, T. B.
Helm appointed. Following this, in
terrupted several times by the arrival
of delegates, came the
Annual Address of the President,
as follows:
A little over fifty years ago "The Indiana
State Convention of Uniyersalists" was or
ganized. These have been fifty active years
in the worlds history, and especially 40 in
the religious world. Thought has changed |
much in regard to God, man, duty, destiny; |
and We take to ourselves, as a church, much |
of the credit for the change.
Indeed so great has been the change |
wrought by the presentation of our ideas that
some are inclined to believe and say that our
work, as distinct Christian organization, is |
